	Title	Time calibration with atmospheric muon tracks in the ANTARES neutrino telescope			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Astroparticle Physics	Abbreviated Journal	Astropart Phys.
	Volume	78	Issue		Pages	43-51
	Keywords	Time calibration; Neutrino Telescopes; ANTARES; Atmospheric muon tracks
	Abstract	The ANTARES experiment consists of an array of photomultipliers distributed along 12 lines and located deep underwater in the Mediterranean Sea. It searches for astrophysical neutrinos collecting the Cherenkov light induced by the charged particles, mainly muons, produced in neutrino interactions around the detector. Since at energies of similar to 10 TeV the muon and the incident neutrino are almost collinear, it is possible to use the ANTARES detector as a neutrino telescope and identify a source of neutrinos in the sky starting from a precise reconstruction of the muon trajectory. To get this result, the arrival times of the Cherenkov photons must be accurately measured. A to perform time calibrations with the precision required to have optimal performances of the instrument is described. The reconstructed tracks of the atmospheric muons in the ANTARES detector are used to determine the relative time offsets between photomultipliers. Currently, this method is used to obtain the time calibration constants for photomultipliers on different lines at a precision level of 0.5 ns. It has also been validated for calibrating photomultipliers on the same line, using a system of LEDs and laser light devices.

	Title	Limits on dark matter annihilation in the sun using the ANTARES neutrino telescope			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Physics Letters B	Abbreviated Journal	Phys. Lett. B
	Volume	759	Issue		Pages	69-74
	Keywords	Dark matter; WIMP; Neutralino; Indirect detection; Neutrino telescope; Sun
	Abstract	A search for muon neutrinos originating from dark matter annihilations in the Sun is performed using the data recorded by the ANTARES neutrino telescope from 2007 to 2012. In order to obtain the best possible sensitivities to dark matter signals, an optimisation of the event selection criteria is performed taking into account the background of atmospheric muons, atmospheric neutrinos and the energy spectra of the expected neutrino signals. No significant excess over the background is observed and 90% C.L. upper limits on the neutrino flux, the spin-dependent and spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross-sections are derived for WIMP masses ranging from 50 GeV to 5 TeV for the annihilation channels WIMP + WIMP -> b (b) over bar, W+W- and tau(+)tau(-).

	Title	Constraints on the neutrino emission from the Galactic Ridge with the ANTARES telescope			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Physics Letters B	Abbreviated Journal	Phys. Lett. B
	Volume	760	Issue		Pages	143-148
	Keywords	Neutrino telescope; Diffuse muon neutrino flux; ANTARES
	Abstract	A highly significant excess of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos has been reported by the IceCube Collaboration. Some features of the energy and declination distributions of IceCube events hint at a North/South asymmetry of the neutrino flux. This could be due to the presence of the bulk of our Galaxy in the Southern hemisphere. The ANTARES neutrino telescope, located in the Mediterranean Sea, has been taking data since 2007. It offers the best sensitivity to muon neutrinos produced by galactic cosmic ray interactions in this region of the sky. In this letter a search for an extended neutrino flux from the Galactic Ridge region is presented. Different models of neutrino production by cosmic ray propagation are tested. No excess of events is observed and upper limits for different neutrino flux spectral indices Gamma are set. For Gamma = 2.4 the 90% confidence level flux upper limit at 100 TeV for one neutrino flavour corresponds to phi(1f)(0) (100TeV) = 2.0 . 10(-17) GeV-1 cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1). Under this assumption, at most two events of the IceCube cosmic candidates can originate from the Galactic Ridge. A simple power-law extrapolation of the Fermi-LAT flux to account for IceCube High Energy Starting Events is excluded at 90% confidence level.

	Title	Measurement of atmospheric neutrino oscillations with the ANTARES neutrino telescope			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Physics Letters B	Abbreviated Journal	Phys. Lett. B
	Volume	714	Issue	2-5	Pages	224-230
	Keywords	Neutrino oscillations; Neutrino telescope; ANTARES
	Abstract	The data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope from 2007 to 2010, a total live time of 863 days, are used to measure the oscillation parameters of atmospheric neutrinos. Muon tracks are reconstructed with energies as low as 20 GeV. Neutrino oscillations will cause a suppression of vertical upgoing muon neutrinos of such energies crossing the Earth. The parameters determining the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos are extracted by fitting the event rate as a function of the ratio of the estimated neutrino energy and reconstructed flight path through the Earth. Measurement contours of the oscillation parameters in a two-flavour approximation are derived. Assuming maximal mixing, a mass difference of Delta m(32)(2) = (3.1 +/- 0.9) . 10(-3) eV(2) is obtained, in good agreement with the world average value.

	Title	Measurement of the group velocity of light in sea water at the ANTARES site			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Astroparticle Physics	Abbreviated Journal	Astropart Phys.
	Volume	35	Issue	9	Pages	552-557
	Keywords	ANTARES; Neutrino telescope; Optical beacon system; Velocity of light; Refractive index
	Abstract	The group velocity of light has been measured at eight different wavelengths between 385 nm and 532 nm in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of about 2.2 km with the ANTARES optical beacon systems. A parametrisation of the dependence of the refractive index on wavelength based on the salinity, pressure and temperature of the sea water at the ANTARES site is in good agreement with these measurements.

	Title	A method for detection of muon induced electromagnetic showers with the ANTARES detector			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research A	Abbreviated Journal	Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A
	Volume	675	Issue		Pages	56-62
	Keywords	Neutrino telescope; Electromagnetic shower identification; High energy muons; Energy reconstruction
	Abstract	The primary aim of ANTARES is neutrino astronomy with upward going muons created in charged current muon neutrino interactions in the detector and its surroundings. Downward going muons are background for neutrino searches. These muons are the decay products of cosmic-ray collisions in the Earth's atmosphere far above the detector. This paper presents a method to identify and count electromagnetic showers induced along atmospheric muon tracks with the ANTARES detector. The method is applied to both cosmic muon data and simulations and its applicability to the reconstruction of muon event energies is demonstrated.

	Title	A fast algorithm for muon track reconstruction and its application to the ANTARES neutrino telescope			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	Astroparticle Physics	Abbreviated Journal	Astropart Phys.
	Volume	34	Issue	9	Pages	652-662
	Keywords	Neutrino telescope; Track reconstruction
	Abstract	An algorithm is presented, that provides a fast and robust reconstruction of neutrino induced upward-going muons and a discrimination of these events from downward-going atmospheric muon background in data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope. The algorithm consists of a hit merging and hit selection procedure followed by fitting steps for a track hypothesis and a point-like light source. It is particularly well-suited for real time applications such as online monitoring and fast triggering of optical follow-up observations for multi-messenger studies. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with Monte Carlo simulations and various distributions are compared with that obtained in ANTARES data.

	Title	Time calibration of the ANTARES neutrino telescope			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	Astroparticle Physics	Abbreviated Journal	Astropart Phys.
	Volume	34	Issue	7	Pages	539-549
	Keywords	Time calibration; Neutrino telescopes; ANTARES
	Abstract	The ANTARES deep-sea neutrino telescope comprises a three-dimensional array of photomultipliers to detect the Cherenkov light induced by upgoing relativistic charged particles originating from neutrino interactions in the vicinity of the detector. The large scattering length of light in the deep sea facilitates an angular resolution of a few tenths of a degree for neutrino energies exceeding 10 TeV. In order to achieve this optimal performance, the time calibration procedures should ensure a relative time calibration between the photomultipliers at the level of similar to 1 ns. The methods developed to attain this level of precision are described.

	Title	AMADEUS-The acoustic neutrino detection test system of the ANTARES deep-sea neutrino telescope			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research A	Abbreviated Journal	Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A
	Volume	626	Issue		Pages	128-143
	Keywords	AMADEUS; ANTARES; Neutrino telescope; Acoustic neutrino detection; Thermo-acoustic model
	Abstract	The AMADEUS (ANTARES Modules for the Acoustic Detection Under the Sea) system which is described in this article aims at the investigation of techniques for acoustic detection of neutrinos in the deep sea. It is integrated into the ANTARES neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. Its acoustic sensors, installed at water depths between 2050 and 2300 m, employ piezo-electric elements for the broad-band recording of signals with frequencies ranging up to 125 kHz. The typical sensitivity of the sensors is around – 145 dB re 1 V/mu Pa (including preamplifier). Completed in May 2008, AMADEUS consists of six “acoustic clusters”, each comprising six acoustic sensors that are arranged at distances of roughly 1 m from each other. Two vertical mechanical structures (so-called lines) of the ANTARES detector host three acoustic clusters each. Spacings between the clusters range from 14.5 to 340 m. Each cluster contains custom-designed electronics boards to amplify and digitise the acoustic signals from the sensors. An on-shore computer cluster is used to process and filter the data stream and store the selected events. The daily volume of recorded data is about 10 GB. The system is operating continuously and automatically, requiring only little human intervention. AMADEUS allows for extensive studies of both transient signals and ambient noise in the deep sea, as well as signal correlations on several length scales and localisation of acoustic point sources. Thus the system is excellently suited to assess the background conditions for the measurement of the bipolar pulses expected to originate from neutrino interactions.

	Title	Search for a diffuse flux of high-energy nu(mu) with the ANTARES neutrino telescope			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	Physics Letters B	Abbreviated Journal	Phys. Lett. B
	Volume	696	Issue	1-2	Pages	16-22
	Keywords	Neutrino telescope; Diffuse muon neutrino flux; ANTARES
	Abstract	A search for a diffuse flux of astrophysical muon neutrinos, using data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. A (0.83 x 2 pi) sr sky was monitored for a total of 334 days of equivalent live time. The searched signal corresponds to an excess of events, produced by astrophysical sources, over the expected atmospheric neutrino background. The observed number of events is found compatible with the background expectation. Assuming an E-2 flux spectrum, a 90% c.l. upper limit on the diffuse nu(mu) flux of E-2 Phi(90%) = 5.3 x 10(-8) GeV cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1) in the energy range 20 TeV-2.5 PeV is obtained. Other signal models with different energy spectra are also tested and some rejected.
